Hospice of Dubuque Community. Compassion. Nonprofit.

November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month

As we see the end of the calendar year coming, Hospice of Dubuque’s 40th anniversary year is also drawing to a close. It has been a year of reflection on the past four decades, as well as looking ahead to continuing the Hospice of Dubuque mission for years to come. We end this anniversary year on a high note with the celebration of National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness about the responsive and specialized services Hospice of Dubuque provides.

During November and all year long, please help spread the word of how our services had an impact in your life. Did your family benefit from the comprehensive hospice care delivered by our experienced and compassionate interdisciplinary care team? Were you or a loved one helped in managing serious illness with the assistance of our palliative care consulting service? Were you assisted in your grief journey by one of Hospice of Dubuque’s many bereavement program offerings? Did you feel empowered regarding end-oflife decision-making after participating in one of our educational programs? Please share your stories so others can know of the services offered by your local, nonprofit hospice, Hospice of Dubuque.

Since 1983, the Hospice of Dubuque staff and volunteers have been privileged to provide the services, support, and education that allow tri-state residents to focus on what really matters to them—comfort and quality of life, time with loved ones, and opportunities for making memories. As we reflect on 40 years of service, we remember the many ways we have made a difference in the lives of tri-state individuals and families. Our mission of providing compassionate care for the terminally ill and their loved ones has guided us, and the support of a steadfast and generous tri-state community has accompanied us. Thank you for being part of our 40-year tradition of compassionate care!
